Pick up & drop off zones
We've got a number of different options to choose from if you're picking up or dropping off at Edinburgh Airport.
As an airport we want to offer passengers as much choice as possible and here you can find out more about each zone, and where they are located on the airport campus.
Please note that from 1 July 2025, all of our car parks will become cashless.
For a quick stop nearest the terminal
The charged Pickup & Dropoff zone is perfect for a quick and easy stop. Located in the multi-storey ground floor.
For more time when picking up and dropping off
Our 1 Hour Parking is conveniently placed in the Terminal car park and is a great option if you are stopping for more than 10 minutes.
For a free pick-up & drop-off
The free option is a 10-minute walk from the terminal and can be used for 30-minutes without charge. No shuttle bus in operation.
Pickup & Dropoff discounts
We have discounts available to local residents and electric vehicle drivers using the Pickup & Dropoff zone in the multi-storey.
Blue Badge holders
Vehicles carrying passengers with blue badges have free access to our car parks for one hour.
Please ensure you have your blue badge with you, and in the pickup and drop off zone holders can scan their blue badge at the exit barrier.
If you are in our car parks then please press the intercom button and speak to our staff.
